[@lydiafayre9806]

There's a youtube series called "Checkmate, Lincolnites!" by a historical youtuber I like. It's a guy talking to himself Contrapoints style, but the debate is between himself versus a confederate soldier. The confederate always indulges in common confederate apologism, while the other guy debunks those myths. It's really funny and informative. Anyway, I got into like a week long bickering match with a guy in the comments section who criticized the series, one of his points being that it was unnecessary because he claimed that no one today is really a slavery apologist. He proceeded to engage in apologism for slavery. These people have no ethical consistency, and it's like they can't even hear themselves think.

[@lydiafayre9806]

@Stonewall Jackson Dude, what does this have to do with my comment? Or are you just posting these on every single comment under this video just hoping that somewhere along the line, someone will feel chagrined that they assumed wrongly about Robert E Lee's personal moral and political position on slavery regardless of whether their comment even discussed that topic?

[@JohnDoe-kn7ex]

Stonewall Jackson Based Stonewall Jackson

[@raruther59]

“Slavery is a moral and political evil, which is why I’m going to fight really hard to keep it and crush slave rebellions” - Robert E. Lee Any words about slavery being wrong, I guess, are completely empty when they’re accompanied by actively opposing the side of the war that wants to free the slaves and prolonging slavery by years. It’s like quoting a German WW2 general who talks about how “you know, I’m really cool with religious minorities, trust me.”

[@JohnDoe-kn7ex]

@@raruther59 sped moment

[@minutemansam1214]

@Stonewall Jackson You forgot to finish the quote. “In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral and political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages. I think it however a greater evil to the white man than to the black race, and while my feelings are strongly enlisted in behalf of the latter, my sympathies are more strong for the former. The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially and physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race, and I hope will prepare and lead them to better things. How long their subjugation may be necessary is known and ordered by a wise Merciful Providence.” Basically, Lee supported slavery as he thought it made them better. Never mind that he owned slaves and was considered a particularly cruel slave master, and he only freed slaves when he thought that managing them wasn't worth it. Compare this to Grant, who was largely neutral towards slavery (he even owned one for a few months through an inheritance from his wife's side of the family, but freed the slave) but as he heroically marched across the south to put down the treasonous slavers he saw the conditions that slaves were in, and promptly became an ardent abolitionist and supported full legal equality for black Americans. Which he tried (and ultimately failed) to uphold during his presidency.

Even if you thought that defeating any rebellion was a “good” act (something undercut by Lee’s participation in a rebellion), it doesn’t change the fact that it isn’t the sole reason to have a statue.

That 'slave rebellion' was John Brown raiding a US military base, killing everyone inside, and gathering arms to wage war on the Federal Government. The same government that was only a few years from abolishing slavery legally. But oh wait, the left likes people who kill Americans.

“We Are Fighting for Independence, Not Slavery”. - Jefferson Davis President of the Confederacy to Edward Kirk “In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution, is a moral & political evil in any Country.” - Robert E Lee “While we see the Course of the final abolition of human slavery is onward, & we give it the aid of our prayers & all justifiable means in our power we must leave the progress as well as the result in his hands who Sees the end” - Robert E Lee 1856 “I am rejoiced that slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interests of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this, as regards Virginia especially, that I would cheerfully have lost all I have lost by the war, and have suffered all I have suffered, to have this object attained.” - Robert E Lee “I have always been in favor of Emancipation.” - Robert E Lee

[@MisterSarcastic]

@@SouthernGentleman what a painfully obvious and entirely weak attempt to paint the Civil War as nothing to do with slavery. Here are excerpts of the casus belli for some of the southern states when they declared their secession: _South Carolina:_ ...A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the States north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common Government, because he has declared that that “Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free,” and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction. This sectional combination for the submersion of the Constitution, has been aided in some of the States by elevating to citizenship, persons who, by the supreme law of the land, are incapable of becoming citizens; and their votes have been used to inaugurate a new policy, hostile to the South, and destructive of its beliefs and safety. _Mississippi:_ Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin… _Louisana:_ As a separate republic, Louisiana remembers too well the whisperings of European diplomacy for the abolition of slavery in the times of an­nexation not to be apprehensive of bolder demonstrations from the same quarter and the North in this country. The people of the slave holding States are bound together by the same necessity and determination to preserve African slavery. _Alabama:_ Upon the principles then announced by Mr. Lincoln and his leading friends, we are bound to expect his administration to be conducted. Hence it is, that in high places, among the Republi­can party, the election of Mr. Lincoln is hailed, not simply as it change of Administration, but as the inauguration of new princi­ples, and a new theory of Government, and even as the downfall of slavery. Therefore it is that the election of Mr. Lincoln cannot be regarded otherwise than a solemn declaration, on the part of a great majority of the Northern people, of hostility to the South, her property and her institutions-nothing less than an open declaration of war-for the triumph of this new theory of Government destroys the property of the South, lays waste her fields, and inaugurates all the horrors of a San Domingo servile insurrection, consigning her citizens to assassinations, and her wives and daughters to pollution and violation, to gratify the lust of half-civilized Africans. _Texas:_ ...in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding states.... Here are more comments from Jefferson Davis on the topic of slavery: “In moral and social condition they had been elevated from brutal savages into docile, intelligent, and civilized agricultural laborers and supplied not only with careful religious instruction. Under the supervision of a superior race their labor has been so directed as not only to allow a gradual and marked amelioration of their own condition.” The dude literally owned slaves up till they escaped/were freed by the Union. Gtfo with that nonsense that Davis was anti-slavery

[@SouthernGentleman]

@@MisterSarcastic Wrong. Lee was not a slave owner, his father in law was. Yes 6 confederate states did mention slavery. Did you notice how South Carolina mainly talks about the American revolution? They’re saying slavery is going to be legal in their new nation like the U.S constitution says. Articles I, Section 2, added three-fifths of “all other Persons” ‒ slaves ‒ to the number of free inhabitants of a state for purposes of representation. This clause, by boosting the number of representatives in Congress for the slave states, guaranteed political protection for slavery. The same three-fifths ratio boosted the representation of slave states in the Electoral College during presidential elections. The slave import limitation, Article I, Section 9, prohibited Congress from regulating the international slave trade until 1808, 21 years after ratification of the Constitution. Not only was Congress forbidden from regulating the transoceanic slave trade, but Article V of the Constitution explicitly forbids amending the slave import limitation, one of only two such forbidden matters in the whole document. Lastly, the Fugitive Slave Clause, Article IV, Section 2, guaranteed nationally, for the first time, the right of slave owners to pursue and reclaim their slaves anywhere throughout the land. - U.S constitution

Lee notified of our arrest; we remained in prison fifteen days, when we were sent back to Arlington; we were immediately taken before Gen. Lee, who demanded the reason why we ran away; we frankly told him that we considered ourselves free; he then told us he would teach us a lesson we never would forget; he then ordered us to the barn, where in his presence, we were tied firmly to posts by a Mr. Gwin, our overseer, who was ordered by Gen. Lee to strip us to the waist and give us fifty lashes each, excepting my sister, who received but twenty; we were accordingly stripped to the skin by the overseer, who, however, had sufficient humanity to decline whipping us; accordingly Dick Williams, a county constable was called in, who gave us the number ofl ashes ordered; Gen.

John Brown was notoriously unfun to party with but if any white man from that time deserves a statue it's him

Robert Lee V: "My great great grandfather conceded the Confederacy's loss and didn't even want Confederate imagery at his own funeral. He didn't regard himself as a hero, and my family and I are strong advocates for the removal of his monuments, because that's what he would want." PragerU: "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."

Well if there's such a problem about tearing down the Robert E Lee statue, erect a much larger John Brown statue right next to it that will dwarf it. That should make the point that who won out in the end.

Better idea - make the John Brown statue a fountain that's peeing on the Robert E Lee statue. (or have some little cherubim do it, to keep it 'art')

So much of this I kept thinking vaush was pulling a prank on us, there is no way that they are that stupid, but the worst part is watching euphemism die because they know they can get away with it

Prage U has thouroughly convinced me, we need more John Brown and Harriet Tubman monuments.
